For those with BC FEP, the insurance doesn't require the 6 month supervised diet. The surgeon might require it, but not the insurance. Same for the psych eval.

If you have surgery as an out-patient, with FEP BC Basic you'll probably get billed for a portion of the cost of the band, which could amount to about $1,000. For in-patient, you don't have to pay a portion of the device cost.

I'm not sure about FEP BC Standard plan.

NOTE: This is for FEP Blue Cross, not for BC from any other employer.
